If anyone has direct recollection of the decision or can find other directly relevant emails, that would be useful data. Likewise if anyone knows about any usability studies that WAI may have done in the course of creating WCAG or WCAG2, and whether they address this topic. Some tentative thoughts based on the data presented so far: 1) We should make sure, for the sake of future generations, that decisions relating to HTML5 are well-documented in the public record. 2) Perhaps <table title=""> could be suggested as a possible table description technique. The issue with being limited to one line has been fixed in modern browsers. Regards, Maciej
